Bug#280206: apache: Apache wont start, FD_SETSIZE set too low in 1.3.31-7?
No, the kernel is the same as before the upgrade.
I guess I could have just hit the roof of some other limit, I do add vhosts every day. It just seemed unlikely to me that it stopped working just then.
I don't really care if this bug(?) was there before or not though. Is there anything we can increase without messing up something else that can fix this? I have this in my /etc/init.d/apache:
[snip]
case "$1" in
start)
should_start
test_config
echo -n "Starting web server: $NAME"
ulimit -n 1000000
$ENV start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON > /dev/null
;;
[snip]
Notice the ulimit -n command. But this doesn't help (I think it did before though, but im not sure).
I havent tried building the source package myself, mostly because i dont know how to do that ;)
